One-to-one, or 1:1 or private swimming lessons are all referring to lessons that a learner-a child or an adult- is having lessons on their own with just one teacher. It is formed of one swimming teacher is teaching only one person in the lesson.
Sometimes a learner-a child or an adult-would prefer or need complete attention from a swim instructor during lessons.
Small group lessons could be a good choice if you are happy with tangible slower progressions that are made within reasonable timeframes which group lessons have.
Even in small groups of 3 children per class (1:3 lessons), the attention of the teacher is split between three learners so, there is a difference between having the full attention of your swimming instructor or some of it.
We recommend private or 1:1 swimming lessons if one or more of the below list is applied:
For more than 13 years of private swim lessons, we have shown that with a dedicated team of swimming teachers who know what they are doing, private lessons save time and energy for you and your family. Our teachers use 100% of each private lesson time to mold the activities and practices around the needs of one swimmer; whether it is an adult or a child or whether students are complete beginners or advanced levels.
A personalised approach is a key to teaching swimming efficiently.
A good swim school with professional staff
My girls have been going to Blue Wave Swim School for over 2 years, they have been looking forward to each lesson and keep practicing the swimming tricks even in a bath. All teachers and an owner of the school has been friendly, very professional. They found unique approach and made kids happy, but most importantly show them how to swim and have fun. Thank you very much from our family to Blue Wave Swim School.

Easter 2021 Crash Course
Various lockdowns have held back my daughter’s swimming development so we opted for a crash 4 day course over Easter and she has come away from it much more confident and with a recognisable stroke as opposed to doggy paddle!

Although I have only attended two lessons, Marjan’s bubbly personality makes you feel instantly at ease. During the lessons, the pool was not very busy which is a good thing (as opposed to public pools) for those who are anxious.
I would strongly recommend to adults who have experienced trauma with water at a certain time in their lives.

My son has been going to swimming lessons at Blue Wave in Wimbledon for a few years now and thoroughly enjoys it. The teaching is great and the lessons well run. Helps to prepare him for when we finally get to go on holiday again!

Highly Recommended
My son went to improve his swimming technique and found his instructor very helpful, very kind and patient. The school itself is very welcoming and feels safe for all the children who go there. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent results
My son is 4 years-old and we were looking for weekend swimming classes in a nice environment that could bring good results. After some research we chose Blue Wave Swim. Our son has been having private lessons since the end of 2018 and he is progressing very well. We believe the professionalism of the team, the clean and tidy infrastructure, and the good care of the management are contributing for his development and confidence in the water. Thank you very much Blue Wave Swim!

Superb Swimming School in Wimbledon
My daughter, who is now 7 years old, started with blue wave two years back and we have been very happy with her progress at the school. Initially we started with group lessons but once she got comfortable in water we moved her to semi private lessons, which made a lot of difference in her ability to learn swimming. As part of the smaller group she is better bonded with other children in the group and gets more attention from the swimming instructor, which is helping her advance her swimming skills. During her 2 years with blue wave, swimming instructors for my daughter have changed and while continuity in learning was maintained, I think this could have been managed better. Needless to say, she still goes and enjoys her time here and looks forward to her class every week. Overall we are very pleased with Blue Wave and would recommend them without any hesitation.
